4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Thunder ATS

Although the Blazers have the “luxury” of having just dropped a road game to a bad Memphis team (aka, they likely won’t fall into “contentness” in their first game back from a long trip away from Moda), OKC has plenty on the line having just lost the No. 3 seed to Houston.

The Blazers should do enough to get the win straight up, but this has “nail-biter” written all over it.

BetOnline Sportsbook Review

BetOnline is where I go when I want to get serious about the number. Early lines, high limits and a massive betting board give me more chances to find an edge before the market catches up. Football is especially strong, but there’s no shortage of props, futures, live wagering and action across the major sports. I’ve learned over the years that half a point here and ten cents there can make a hell of a difference. BetOnline gives me another place to find them. — Razor Ray
